Ben V; has been building a riding single speeds for a long time. He tells me he has built too numerous to count bikes over the years, some from spare parts that he had laying around and others from bikes he converts. Ben is a true bicycle enthusiast, that recently moved here from Oregon. While in Oregon he volunteered his time at “The Northwest Hub”, a not-for-profit community bike shop that exists to empower and mobilize divested Salem Oregon residents in need of transportation. Ben can be seen riding regularly his single speed mountain bike at Chewacla State Park or his newly converted Trek Crossrip on gravel roads around Auburn and Opelika.
